Original Abstract Submitted
A system configured to rank gameplay can include a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the system to perform operations. The operation can include transmitting an indication of a start of an event to an electronic gaming machine (“EGM”). The operations can include, subsequent to transmitting the indication of the start of the event, receiving information associated with gameplay by a player from the EGM. The operations can further include determining a ranking associated with the player based on the information associated with the gameplay by the player. The operations can further include transmitting an indication of the ranking associated with the player.
